Elbow

Your elbow is an essential part of your daily life. It allows you to work, play and perform everyday activities. In fact, how well your elbow functions depends entirely on the integrity of the ligaments, tendons, muscles and bones that comprise this all-important joint. Our physicians are well trained in the numerous surgical techniques and non-surgical treatment plans designed to restore function and range of motion to patients’ lives. Whether you suffer from years of use or a traumatic injury, a chronic condition or a recent development, you do not have to endure pain or stiffness in your elbow. Our specialty-trained physicians understand the intricate workings of this joint. They have spent years dedicating their practice to the new technology, continuing medical education, and diagnosis and treatment for conditions of the upper extremity. So whether your condition is due to arthritis, a sports injury such as tennis elbow or golfer's elbow, an accident, a work-related injury or a congenital disorder, you can feel confident choosing us for your treatment and care.

Foot & Ankle

Foot and ankle pain is a common disorder. Almost 80% of the population will experience foot pain in their lives. We believe that no one should have to live with pain in their feet. We are trained and equipped to diagnose and treat all problems involving the foot and ankle. We treat people of all ages, for problems such as plantar fasciitis, tendinitis and bunions, as well as serious injuries and disorders. Many foot and ankle problems can be remedied with conservative care, including correctional orthotic devices. For patients with conditions that fail to respond to conservative care, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons are fellowship-trained. Their expertise and experience will help you through every step of your treatment, whether it be orthotic therapy or corrective surgery.

Foot and ankle surgery includes the treatment of fractures, repair of tendon injuries, correction of deformity, management of ankle instability and bone/cartilage from sports-related injuries, and comprehensive management of heel pain. We are dedicated to keeping our patients’ feet and ankles in the healthiest condition. Our goal is to relieve patients of chronic pain and to return function and enjoyment to everyday activity.

Spine

The spine is literally the supporting structure of the body. It has changed little since we decided to stand on our own two feet. Your spine must allow significant motion during everyday activity such as bending, lifting, looking overhead or even simply shaking your head. When the spine is injured and its function impaired, the consequences can be painful and even disabling. Fortunately, we work with patients and their families to improve the quality of life for patients with spinal disorders through innovative approaches to diagnosis, treatment, research, and patient education. Our spine surgeons have extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of all adult and pediatric spinal disorders, including management of cervical, thoracic and lumbar disk herniations, spinal cord compression, spine instability, trauma, tumors, infections and scoliosis. By offering the very latest surgical and non-surgical treatment options for orthopedic injuries and disorders such as osteoporosis, we have become one of the most sophisticated and comprehensive facilities of its kind.

Hand & Wrist

The human hand is very complex and delicate in structure. Hand surgery requires a totally different surgical approach whether treating fractures, arthritis or deformities, and traditionally includes treatment of the entire hand, wrist and forearm. This whole region works as a single unit, and the dysfunction of a single part needs consideration of the whole. An additional year of training (fellowship) is required for those orthopedic surgeons seeking certification in hand surgery. Our fellowship-trained physicians treat conditions involving the bones, tendons, and muscles of the hands, wrist and forearm. Under their experienced guidance, your recovery will be expertly diagnosed and carefully monitored from start to successful recovery.

Therapy may be necessary for any surgery involving the hand, wrist or elbow. Ourobjective is to provide exercise and activities designed to help return the patient to an active, productive lifestyle.

If you are among the millions of Americans experiencing hand and upper extremity problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome each year, finding expert care is all-important. Whether your condition is due to arthritis, a sports injury, an accident, work-related or a congenital disorder, you can feel confident choosing us for your care.

Knee

The knee is the largest joint in the body, and one of the most easily injured. Perhaps you’ve had to give up bicycling. Just getting out of bed in the morning may have become an ordeal, and sitting on the floor to play with your children is out of the question. Whether you’re suffering from a past injury, or from gradual wear and tear of arthritis, knee pain can make it difficult for you to maintain an active lifestyle. Our physicians are experts in caring for people with knee pain. From managing medications and physical therapy to the latest techniques in minimally invasive surgery (such as knee arthroscopy, cartilage repair and ACL reconstruction) or total knee replacement, our specialists work with you every step of the way to provide the treatment that will restore your quality of life. We have a well-earned reputation for incorporating excellence in orthopedics with complete, individualized care for each patient - outstanding orthopedic care that will help you get back to enjoying the everyday activities of life.

Hip

Your hip joint is integral in keeping your body in motion. But when that joint causes you pain, everything you do suffers…playing sports, working in the yard, even the simple act of walking. Our goal is to ease your suffering from hip pain and get you back to your normal daily routine. To that end, we offer the most technologically advanced facilities in a relaxing atmosphere of caring, comfort and complete understanding. We provide state-of-the-art care for labral tears and soft tissue injuries as well as bony problems. Using the most modern technology and surgical techniques, which allow for more rapid recovery and longer lasting joint function, our physicians are able to restore the joy of movement and truly revitalize lives.

Sports Medicine

Our sports medicine trained physicians offer complete medical care to active people of any age and skill. From the dedicated athlete to the weekend warrior, our goal is to help each individual regain an active lifestyle and to compete in sport at the highest level possible. So, whether you receive an injury playing touch football, running track at school, or in dance class, you should be treated like a professional athlete and, you will be. Our state-of-the-art facility cares for all athletic injuries. You will benefit from the expertise of our sports medicine trained physicians who specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries due to athletic activity.

Many athletic disorders are treated with arthroscopic surgery, a minimally invasive surgical method that utilizes a camera to look inside a joint along with specialized instruments to carry out any necessary surgery in that joint. Other injuries may respond to physical therapy or perhaps require more advanced surgery to promote optimum healing. In any case, our dedicated sports medicine physicians will focus their years of knowledge and expertise toward getting you back to your game.
